Fashion and Style Journal Is On Hold And May Never Come Back

We dont't know if anyone beyond us has every checked this blog but we think that people deserve to know what is going on.

We had a great time writing Fashion and Style Journal and we hoped that people would have a great time reading it. Apparently, it didn't happend and coping with keeping it fresh and our life was not being rewarded so , probably, the effort was not needed and Fashion and Style Journal is on hold.

It's a possibility that this blog may never work again.

We would like to thank to everyone that made this project a reality and worked hard on it.

We also would like to thank those people that may had read it.

Although this abrupt ending it was good while it lasted...

Fashionable greetings!

Our Choice: 80th Oscars Edition

The most expected night finally happened. WGA and the producers scared the entertainment world but they patched things up right in time.

But awards ceremonies are today much more than that and being this a fashion and style related site these were the stars that won our oscar for best dressed:

HEIDI KLUM
Red was definitively the colour of this Oscars edition and wasn't just about the carpet. Heidi also stunned by wearing this Haute Couture by John Galliano and looked even better when she said that the dress will be auctioned off online to beneft Red Heart Truth charity.

AMY RYAN
Amy kept it simple and safe and hit high with this one-shouldered navy Calvin Klein gown.

KRISTIN CHENOWETH
"That's how [she] knows" that looking good on the red carpet is possible by wearing this black and rose Armani Privé gown.

HELEN MIRREN

Helen looked regal and elegant in custom-made ruby red satin Georges Chakra gown with Swarovski crystal sleeves.

AMY ADAMS

She looked like a modern "Enchanted" princess by wearing this Proenza Schouler emerald gown.
KATHERINE HEIGL

Katherine knows that Old Hollywood's flair looks good on her so she plays it safe and chose an amazing Escada red dress.

MILEY CYRUS

Miley looked fiery but at the same time sweet with this red Valentino gown on.

MARION COTILLARD

She might have been surprised by winning the Oscar but she was already a favourite of ours. She didn't disapointed us and looked dazzling on this custom made Jean-Paul Gaultier gown, that made her look like a beautiful mermaid.

HILARY SWANK

Hilary keeps being one of the red carpet godesses by wearing this Atelier Versace black dress. Customized for her, remeber that the "orginal" version had the two shoulder straps.

JESSICA ALBA

Jessica highlighted her maternity glow with this deep-purple Marchesa gown, simple jewelry and fresh hairdo.

ANNE HATHAWAY
She really impressed with this flowered and draped red Marchesa gown, Harry Winston diamonds on.

JENNIFER GARNER

On her daily life Jennifer may keep it simple but when comes to red carpet she puts that philosophy aside and looks always great. This year was no exception and looked really beautiful with a black silk taffeta Oscar de la Renta gown on, Van Cleef & Arpels diamonds, Roger Vivier clutch.

Our Choice: BAFTA Awards

The British awards usually work as a warm up for the Oscars and everything shows that probably this year was not an exception. The awards were handed without big surprises and the red carpet caught our eye too. Lets take a look of the stars that dressed to impress:

JESSICA BIEL
She didn't dare too much by choosing this classic and simple black Dior gown but it was enough to look more than good.


KEIRA KNIGHTLEY

Keira looked like ethereal and feminine on this Valentino dress. We would only comb her hair differently but she keeps looking great.



EMILY BLUNT

Miranda Priestley would be (secretly) proud of her senior assistant if she would saw her looking this good. Her natural grace and the Marc Bouvier dress helped a lot.

Our Choice: Screen Actors Guild

We know that the SAG happened two weeks ago but we could not forget to choose those stars that really impressed us in terms of fashion, because due to the fact that Golden Globes were not like what we use to see this was the first "big" red carpet of the season.

So our honours go to:

ELLEN PAGE
She was nominated because of her portrayal of a 16-year-old girl but there is some grown up people out there envying her because they can't look so great with a little black dress on as she did wearing this Zac Posen frock;

CHRISTINA APPLEGATE

We haven't figured out yet why celebrities forget about such a great and talented designer as Elie Saab. Hopefully Christina Applegate didn't and she looked feminine and radiant wearing one of his creations;

ELLEN POMPEO

She prefered platinum colour instead of Grey but she kept looking good and great with this beautiful Nina Ricci dress that she picked right from January's Vogue Issue, as Ellen revealed;

MARION COTILLARD

The french actress was nominated for "La Vie En Rose" but she impressed by wearing this light grey Nina Ricci dress;

MICHELLE PFEIFFER There is another proof that with almost 50 years old women can look so good as (or even better than) 20 year old girls. Michelle looked so good with her Versace dress on that she almost ofuscated why was everybody at that place;

EVA LONGORIA PARKER
Eva looked so far from a "desperate housewife" -as always - with her Naeem Khan white gown and also give us a peek of her new tattoo.

MARCIA CROSS

Marcia looked stunning and brilliant on this Monique Lluillier tourquoise dress that seem highlighted by Marcia's trademark: her red hair;

The Grammys were handed out on Sunday 10th but they weren't just about music...it also included fashion (as in every event with red carpet)...

There lots of people walking down the red carpet but these were the ones that caught our eye:

FERGIE
She looked so "G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S" wearing this light-yellow Calvin Klein dress, Cartier diamonds;

ALICIA KEYS

She scored in fashion department like "No One" by wearing this Giorgio Armani Privé sapphire satin dress and mixing it up with an edgy hairdo;

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD

Natasha dressed to impress by wearing this flashy purple Reem Acra frock and now that she is ready to hit the American market she made a fashionable statement;

FAITH HILL

Faith Hill made country look better than ever by wearing this amazing one-shouldered Valentino dress, Lorraine Schwartz jewels and giving some Old Hollywood to this year ceremony;
